The Credit Union has your best interest in mind with a checking account.  Choosing the right account can help you eliminate a monthly service fee, earn cash back and make it easy to manage your money. Alliance FCU offers a variety of checking accounts designed to meet your financial needs.

 All About Checking
Checking accounts are multiple transaction accounts that provide ready access to funds. All checking account holders have unlimited check writing privileges and no "per check" charge. Overdraft Protection can be provided from savings, credit cards or through a line of credit with certain eligibility requirements.

Deposits can be made to your account in person, by mail, night depository or through direct deposit. Transfers between accounts are handled in person, by mail, by CU Online or by telephone.
 

  Types of Checking Accounts
Power Checking Accounts - Put a little power into your checking account! You must have direct deposit or payroll deposit into this account, otherwise the account will be converted to an Alliance Checking Account on the last day of the month and will be subject to all applicable fees and charges. Refer to the Rate and Fee Schedule. click here for more info...

Freedom Checking Accounts
Want a little freedom in your checking account? With a Freedom checking account there are no monthly fees, no minimum balance or limit on the total number of checks you write each month.

Alliance Checking Accounts
If you're looking for a basic checking account with unlimited check writing, Alliance Checking is a great option. Keep a $1000 minimum balance in your account and you won't pay the $5 monthly service charge.

Direct Deposit Overdraft Protection
TOPS (Terrific Overdraft Protection Service) If you have been a member in good standing and have established Direct Deposit to your checking account, we will cover your overdrafts up to the amount of your direct deposit or to the maximum amount of $500.00, minus the applicable fees. Each item we pay instead of returning will have a NSF fee of $28.00. Participation in this program is automatic. Direct Deposit Overdraft Protection may be terminated at any time for abuse, or if the amount overdrawn regularly exceeds the overdraft limit. Regular overdraft protection from savings and other accounts will apply first.

Gold Star Club
If you are 60 or older, you qualify for our Gold Star Club. No fees on Traveler Checks, Money Orders, Bank Checks. You receive 2 free boxes of AFCU custom checks per year.
